Until her death at 85 two months ago, Soap Heiress Olivia P. Gamble lived unpretentiously in her Cincinnati home, wintered in Daytona Beach.

Thoughtful Newport grocers used to keep stools handy so the local tots could climb up to play the slot machines. Cincinnati high school kids came roistering across the river to take advantage of the whorehouse specials: $1 for the prostitute, $1 for the madam. When one statistics-minded citizen clocked the trade at New port's biggest brothel, he discovered that the eleven girls averaged a new customer every seven minutes from noon Saturday until 6 a.m. the following Monday. The town had its spattering of killings, but they were generally shrugged off as "self-defense." One Easterner...
